It depends on the current of the charger. Common times range anywhere from two hours up to twelve or so.
Many modern chargers, including relatively inexpensive ones, have an auto-shutoff feature to prevent overcharging. If you have an old charger that does not have this, you might want to invest in a newer one which does.
